That’s why NASA developed the H71M sub-kilowatt Hall-effect thruster, a next-generation ion engine that can supply a velocity ...

When [Jay Bowles] demoed his first-generation ion thruster on Plasma Channel ... we’re looking forward to seeing the next generation of this fascinating project.

Getting that fuel into orbit is costly, too! Ion thrusters, in their various forms, offer an alternative solution – miniscule thrust, but high fuel efficiency. This tiny push won’t get you off ...

Next the ions pass through a magnetic ... But in traditional ion engines, sometimes called Hall thrusters, the constant bombardment of energized particles against the back wall of the engine ...

A research team presents an AI assessor for Hall-effect ion thrusters, the engines of satellites and space probes.

Hence an electric propulsion system is also referred to as an ion engine. According to Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The plume of ions ...

Electrospray (ES) thrusters generate low thrust via the electrostatic extraction of charged species from an electrified liquid. These systems are characterized by the propellant used and emission mode ...

Hence an electric propulsion system is also referred to as an ion engine. The energy for the electromagnetic fields is often provided by solar arrays, and hence the technology is sometimes ...
